COLUMBIA – The former youth director at Parkade Baptist Church was arrested Friday on suspicion of first-degree statutory sodomy and possession of child pornography.

Dale G. Johnson, 42, turned himself in to Boone County Sheriff’s Department detectives at 4:30 p.m. Friday, according to a news release. His arrest followed an investigation that began when the Missouri Division of Children’s Services received a hotline call in early February.

Detectives suspect Johnson of assaulting a girl on multiple occasions, beginning in 2013. The victim was under the age of 14 at the time of at least one of the assaults. Johnson and the victim knew each other, according to the release.
